So-- so much of it is beyond Esteban's understanding.

Warned this time, it's not as much of a blow to his thoughts, only a sort of distant awe and... apprehension? Fear? He can't quite put his finger on it, just that he finds it both amazing and yet dreadful at the same time, that people and society got so far, but at the cost of everything-- anything--... natural. Is it even still a planet anymore?

But it is their way, and somehow, they've made it work. And that is the depth of people's ingenuity. It is both staggering and awe-inspiring. It is not beautiful in a way Esteban recognizes; but it is its own marvel.

"Wow." He doesn't really know what else to say to this-- his words are too small to compare to the depth that he's been shown. But he lets his tone, his breathless voice indicate how much her world has impacted him.

Okay. Okay, he's ready.

"What d'you like best from it?" he asks, and there's a bit of bracing for impact in his question, an attempt that whatever comes next he (hopefully) won't get staggered again by the sheer enormity of it.
